That's the "suggested MSRP"... not necessarily the final sale price. Give your local guys a call. They might have other ideas.
The 360 -- is that a 5' mower? I'd think that the 3000 series would power that just fine as they (flail mower) generally take less hp than a comparable sized rotary mower.

I have the five foot caroni with hydraulic shift and heavy flails on my farm. It gets used several times a week along fence lines and small fields, around the vegetable field etc. I also have a very old 6 foot Mott Hammer Knife that gets used several times a week on larger areas. Love them both. The Caroni is a very well made piece of equipment and when the Mott can no longer be repaired, I'll likely replace it with a Caroni. Of course, if I could find a 10ft flail within my budget....I prefer the flail over the bushhog, except in heavy brush with sapplings.
I also had a Ford 80 inch 918 that I resurected. Big and heavy, but not any better than the Caroni, and the drive was so heavy on it that it sucked the life out of my 50hp tractor.
